The UMHB Alumni Association is excited to offer some summer LUNCH & LEARN opportunities for our alumni and friends. Bring your lunch and join us to learn a new skill or to improve your craft. The second opportunity will be on July 2 and will focus on sewing. Choose one of the following options to learn during lunch.

• Hand Sewing 101 with Vicki McKay ’71 – Learn the basics! Two ways to hem, how to shorten a pair of pants, the blind stitch, how to sew on a button, and more! Bring your questions. Each participant will receive a mini repair kit.
• Costume Construction with Susan Cody ’72 – Learn the basics of making a “T” tunic costume for the Easter Pageant. Session covers fabric types, pattern making, accessorizing costumes, and sewing machine basics. The end products will be donated to the Student Life Department for use in the UMHB Easter Pageant.
• Fat Quarter Projects with Beth Norvell ’03 – Make three easy projects that can be combined into one gift! Bring three fat quarters of your choice (18 in by 22 in of fabric, you can find these in the Walmart craft section), and we will make an ID card holder, a lavender scent sachet, and a reusable cloth gift bag while also touching on sewing machine basics and straight seams.

Lunch & Learn is a relaxed event at the alumni center. Bring your own lunch to enjoy throughout the class. You will get a confirmation email with added details, and if there is anything specific you need to bring. Space is limited, so sign up today.
